My lessons are designed to make physics engaging, understandable, and relevant. I combine structured explanations with real-world examples drawn from my experience in the space sector, helping students see how the concepts they learn apply beyond the classroom. Lessons are highly interactive: I encourage questions, use diagrams and visual aids, and break down complex ideas into manageable steps.

I teach a range of topics including mechanics, electricity, waves, thermodynamics, and particle physics, tailored to GCSE and A-Level syllabuses. Each session is personalised: I assess your current level, identify gaps, and focus on areas that need the most attention, all while reinforcing your strengths. My approach balances conceptual understanding with problem-solving practice, ensuring students not only know the theory but can confidently apply it in exams and beyond.

I have over a decade of experience in physics and applied mathematics, both in academic and professional settings, and more than two years of dedicated tutoring experience. I’ve worked with students who have struggled with confidence, as well as those aiming for top grades. I am patient, approachable, and adapt my teaching methods to suit different learning styles, including techniques that support neurodiverse learners.

Whether you are revising for exams, tackling challenging topics, or simply curious about how physics shapes the world and space around us, I aim to make every lesson engaging, practical, and confidence-building. With clear explanations, structured practice, and personalised guidance, my goal is to help every student achieve their full potential in physics.
